It's all-MRS-all-the-time around here lately (see here, here, and here)! Which is fine, because our partners at MRS are lovely. Also lovely: science education and outreach events at the MRS Spring Meeting! There are lots of them:

Last week I posted information about the small grants MRS and WGBH are offering to organize outreach events around the premiere ofMaking Stuff. Apparently, a lot of folks have had similar questions about the outreach events, so the team wrote up answers to the top questions:

The NISE Net is sponsoring a bunch of professional development opportunities at the upcoming Materials Research Society Spring Meeting in San Francisco, April 5 - 9. Admission is included in meeting registration for all of these workshops, no additional registration is required.

Richard Souza, who is leading the Materials Research Society's involvement in the NISE Network, forwarded me this announcement about a small grant opportunity open to our partners. There's more information below, but please note that the application due date is April 1. The grant is for organizing outreach activities in connection with the release of Making Stuff, a PBS tv series on materials science. One of the four episodes is focused on nanotechnology, and nano will be a common thread throughout the segments.
